Your OTHER Favorite Team

1. Packers
2. Colts

I grew up watching Unitas so I'm biased. I don't like the fooken dome they play in, but Manning seems cool.

A Colts fan here.... started rooting for them when they were still in B-More (My pop was a huge Lenny Moore fan and got me following the club when I was younger- but well after Moore was retired :o ) Stuck with 'em on the move to Indy- through the Jim Harbaugh years (Yikes) and cheered like a bastard when they drafted Manning over Leaf...

Of course- the Birds are always first!

Dayum.

Save that pic for the best dressed female fans thread.

Not sure I'd wanna see the equivalent in Green Bay given the amount of beer and brats consumed.

Oh no, you can't like more than one team. Oh no no. The Dick Police like BSmackYourself will come and strip you of your manhood.

....and from what I have heard, he is quite creative in his methods.

You're mostly right there, CM, but I'll have to say that my second favorite team is whoever is playing the Doncs.

Following another team does not make someone "fair weather". Just becasue I happen to like an AFC team as well- doesn't mean I root for the Eagles any less. I bleed green- but also like to follow the Colts in the AFC. if they both meet in the SB- I am of course pulling for the Birds... but it is possible to follow more than one team. Of course Favorite is a bad choice of words- maybe the post should have been labeled- #2 team you follow...

...yea, just like there was no such thing as a second favorite piece of trim in college or any freaking year of our life.

We're more loyal to our football teams than our women? Men for you, B.

Bwa! Yea, I won't lose any sleep over breaking the golden rule. With fantasy football and gambling, if you boys haven't lightened up enough to appreciate the talents of other footballs teams and somehow draw an interest in just one team once in a while (even if just because of one player), you probably aren't having regular sex and are probably close to shower rod each year the light goes out on your team's season in November. The other thing about football, MY TEAMS RARELY PLAY EACH OTHER. There are not the same seasonal match ups as there are in the NBA, NHL and MLB (to an extent).

Even in college, yea fuck The Bruins but they still represent the Pac and SoCal and I'll be damned if I cheer for some midwest, eastern over rated sack of shit just because they are a rival. Besides that, it's even better when the match ups are between two highly ranked rivals only for my boys to tear them all down.

Lighten up, Francis, Franciseseseses

....and thennnnnn

Jesus titty fucking christ. Could Charger fans be anymore Mexican? My gawd. Their all wetbacks and tatted up.

My other fav team is the Colts. Been a Dungy fan since he was in Tampa. Wish he was still here.

Concur. The precedent has been set.

At least as for the right to come in here banging your chest and screaming "SCOREBOARD" at the top of your lungs is concerned.

There's no problem with tacitly admiring another team/franchise though. But just like if your cheating on your wife, you don't run around advertising the fact. I once got in bed with the Packers and had the bad manners of divulging the fact. Almost got me run from TNW, it did.

I like the wife analogy Wags.... I love my wife- am devoted to her and will die for her- but I still look at other women... she knows & doesn't care as long as my loyalties stay with her.

What the AFC West cousin said.

You can respect other teams.
You can respect some opposing players.
Hell, you can even respect some fans from opposing teams...

But "follow"?! Hell, cut me and I bleed... er, red.

I'd root for the Taliban before I'd root for another AFC West team. Raiduhs-Blots at the Murph? Here's rooting for the John Deere to throw a rod before the field can be cleared of all the mutual carnage. Chuckland at Dungver? OK, so rooting for a thermonuclear airburst over Piled High is a bit extreme. I'd settle for conventional carpet bombing. And I wouldn't expect any lesser attitude from Mule-, Duh-, and BlotFan. It's that brand of bitterness that makes the whole AFC West the best damn rivalry in football.

Nice Mule gun, Mikey, but it looks like the pistolero in the pic is sporting one of those new Polish-made Glocks that push rounds wide-left.

Fuck the so-called "purists."

My #1 team is Buffalo, but I also follow the Giants, since that was the team my family followed when I was growing up.

The whole idea of living and dying or "bleeding" team colors is frigging stupid nowadays. Players move from one team to another over cash or to snag a ring...so much for THEM taking "team loyalty" seriously. Owners move teams to different cities just for better stadium deals....screw the fans.

Guys who deck themselves out in jerseys, paint their faces and get a second mortgage to pay for season tickets are 'roided-up versions of Star Wars/Star Trek geeks. It's a frigging game. Get over it.

Aight then, I can tell that you're a "real" fan and have LOTS of reasons to be posting in this forum.

Like, don't you have some papers to grade or something?

Mike the Lab Rat · Post by **Mike the Lab Rat** » Fri Oct 14, 2005 2:33 am

Oh...I'm sorry, I hadn't read the "real fan" by-laws. Tell me again which paragraph and subsection requires me to live and die for one specific franchise and its millionaire athletes?

When the athletes decided to switch teams to follow the cash or the ring and owners decided to play cities against each other to get their franchise, each group forfeited any right to claim undying loyalty from the fans. Why the hell should fans live and die for a team when the players and owner care mostly for the money and the ring? They provide entertainment. Entertainment I enjoy but have a "grown up" perspective on.

Painting my face like a renfest geek and wearing a fake jersey doesn't fit the "grown up" bit...

War Wagon · Post by **War Wagon** » Fri Oct 14, 2005 2:51 am

Mike, when I want to know the atomic weight of berylium, or the political ramifications of the Crimean War, you'd be the first guy I'd look up.

When I want your takes on the NFL, wait... tahts never happened.

Players come and go, but my team doesn't and neither does my allegiance. Lump your soory assed generalizations in with some other teams fanbase if it gives you a stiify as potent as that JW Red on the rocks your nursing.

ChargerMike · Post by **ChargerMike** » Fri Oct 14, 2005 3:20 am

Freekin RAAAAACCCCCKKK Truman.....Scott said you were solid and you just proved it Bro.

MLR...One of the bittter/sweet things about players moving on is you can boo the hell outta them when they slither back into town. It's a love/hate thing....Just ask Raiduhfan about Chucky...However, I'll never hate Seau, Carney, or Harrison...their's always a few who have earned respect no matter what uniform their wearing.

...or ChiefFan about Marty. Still can't get used to seeing him in Bolt gear. I knew SD was gonna become a cast-iron bitch once he got things turned around out there.

However, I'll never hate Seau, Carney, or Harrison...their's always a few who have earned respect no matter what uniform their wearing.

Agreed. That's why Rich Gannon and Donnie Edwards always have - and always will - draw cheers from the Arrowhead Faithful.

The player-team-jumping thing is one of the major reasons that, in my opinion, I'll never have the kind of rabid loyalty to any team (of any sport) that people used to have. When Bruce Smith sold out to become a Redskin in the pathetic tail-end of his career, or (10x worse) Thurman Thomas became a frigging Dolphin, that pretty much proved to me that a larger and larger percentage of the players only care about is $$$. The NFL, like a lot of leagues, has become a league of players and not teams. It sucks to see some kid buying a jersey with a beloved player's name on it, only to have the jersey be outdated the next year because the guy and his agent decided to follow the cash to another team, especially a hated rival team.

Players like Jim Kelly and LT, in my opinion, deserve a hell of a lot more props for sticking with the franchise and retiring as a member of that franchise.

I couldn't agree more, I hate the jumping. Nonetheless, I'm a ONE team honk.
Additionally, I respect the heck out of the rabid Raiduh, Chief, Donk fans who bleed their team colors....uh, as long as they dont piss in/on my cap.

BTW...Concur on Kelly, but I think LT hurt himself bigtime with all the drugs and off field idiocy.

Yea, but LT was money in his film roles.
